"The Spaghetti Eaters (Columbine and Pulcinella)" is a porcelain figurine created by the Capodimonte Porcelain Manufactory between 1745 and 1755. The figurine depicts the commedia dell'arte characters Columbine and Pulcinella, with Pulcinella seated and Columbine standing beside him, as they enjoy a meal of spaghetti. The scene is a charming depiction of this iconic pair and exemplifies the detailed craftsmanship and playful nature of Capodimonte porcelain, a popular genre of decorative art in 18th-century Italy. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this small but exquisite piece, measuring just over 5 inches in height.
